Yes to the nipple cream and bra with no underwire. Those two things held me or a lot!!! BTW, your nipples will start doing weird things, so get ready for it. Lol they still surprise me every day ^.^
Pick up some lanolin. It's nipple cream. It will help with the swelling and sooth the nipples. Also try wearing a bra with no padding or under wire if your breasts are sore as well. I've been living in a sports bra.
